Timing

Venue

2 large adjacent conference rooms located on 24th floor of a tower with great view of the city (see pictures)

Possibility to remove the wall between the two rooms to make a single larger room

RJ-45 and power plugs in the floor

Larger room: 14 tables for two = 28 person capacity

Smaller room: 6 tables for two = 12 person capacity

Possibility to rearrange the tables to fit our needs (e.g. make tables/teams of 6-8 people for instance)

Projector in each room

White boards on the wall between the two rooms (become unavailable if we remove the wall)

Sponsors

We will again be looking for sponsors ($750) to support food and fun for the sprinters as they work hard and play hard for four productive days. Each $750 sponsorship will be put towards lunch, snacks and dinner costs for the sprinters, and potentially bringing in sprinters who might otherwise be unable to attend. Any surplus at the end of the event will be turned over to OSGeo or used for a future code sprint.

Room Share

Put your name in this section, indicating the amount of space in your room.

Put your names below:

example entry: B has a triple room, needs two roommates.

Special offer: I, Alexandre Leroux, can provide free lodging for the whole event with these parameters: one double bed, private access (we'll let you a key), private kitchen with fridge, private shower and toilet. Internet wifi included. It's a 2-minutes walk from the Snowdon subway station, making it easy to go to the Code Sprint. That would be on the basement of where my wife, daughter and myself live. If interested, contact me directly.

Individual Preparation

Bring your own computer

Install subversion and the compiler tools, and come with a working development environment if possible.

FAQ

Is the Montreal Code Sprint just a coding event?

Yes, a coding and documentation event. It is a working session for people who are already participants in open source projects.

Will it be possible to present new projects during this event?

No, this is not a presentation-oriented event. People will get together in small groups and work on areas of mutual interest within their projects.

Option 1 - Express Bus 747 + Subway

Take the 747 express bus from the Airport. The bus goes to Berri-UQAM, but do not go all the way to Berri-UQAM, you need to get off at the Lionel-Groulx stop, and then connect to the Metro Green Line (1) towards Station Honoré-Beaugrand. Get off at Station Peel (Stop ID: 10138). You are only 150m from Hotel Le Cantlie Suites.

Cost: 8$. At the airport, tickets are sold at the International Currency Exchange (ICE) counter on the international arrivals level.

Option 2 - Taxi

It seems that the simplest option is a taxi: there is a fixed price of 38$ for a ride downtown in the area of the hotel. (The person at the hotel insisted that this is a fixed price and if the driver asks for more then he is trying to screw you)

Option 3 - Train + Subway

VIA Rail offers a train shuttle from their Dorval train station to downtown (towards Montreal Central Station). The Dorval train station is not directly on the airport so you need to take the "AirConnect" shuttle to get to the train. More details here:

"After landing, go to the domestic or international flights terminal exit, where you'll see a clearly marked AirConnect stop. The shuttle comes by every 20 minutes, and will take you to the Dorval station for free."

Then Google suggests that the shortest route is to get off the train at Metro (Subway) Station Vendome, then take red line (2) towards Henri Bourassa and get off at Lionel Groulx. Finally take metro green line (1) towards Honoré-Beaugrand and get off at Peel. You are only 150m from Hotel Le Cantlie Suites.
